Background

About Reshma Nilofer

Maritime Pilot navigating ships of all types up and down River Hugli, which is one of the toughest navigable rivers in the world. The bars and sands are ever shifting, tides -the strongest in the region. Nari Shakti Puraskar (2019) Awardee. MNI. Expert Navigator with a Dual Competency background (Deck and Engine Dept.) Ports & River Pilotage are strengths. Spokesperson and Advocate for Gender Diversity and Inclusion in the Maritime Industry. Analytical leader, dynamic team player. Believe strongly that unknown is an ocean and that it is open to seekers and explorers. I consider myself a challenge seeker and a trouble shooter. The experiences thus far in this industry have taught me various values among which 'rising above difficult situations' has by far been the biggest and most rewarding learning. Hence I yearn to diversify my skill set and keep moving onward and forward to Quality, Safety, Logistics, Management and Operations roles which I think I'd fit well in. My goal for life and shipping is sustainability and finding purpose. So far, it has been a fulfilling journey and I look forward to many more profound journeys.
